Answer:

P = (\frac{8}{3},\frac{11}{3})

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

X = (1,2)

Y = (6,7)

Required

The point at 1/3 of XY

If the point is at 1/3 for X, then the other end (to Y) is 2/3

So, we have:

m:n = 1/3:2/3

Multiply by 3

m:n = 1:2

The point (P) is calculated using:

P = (\frac{mx_2 + nx_1}{m+n},\frac{my_2 + ny_1}{m+n})

This gives:

P = (\frac{1*6 + 2*1}{1+2},\frac{1*7 + 2*2}{1+2})

P = (\frac{8}{3},\frac{11}{3})

What is the combined weight of all the kittens? Weight of kittens: 1/4 pound: 3 kittens. 3/8 pound: 2 kittens. 1/2 pound: 4 kitt
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

6 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 times 3 = 3/4

3/8 times 2: 6/8 = 3/4

1/2 times 4: 4/2 = 2

5/8 times 4: 20/8 = 2 1/2

3/4 + 3/4 = 6/4 = 1 1/2

2 + 2 1/2 + 1 1/2 = 6 pounds
